William Lee "Bill" Stockton
William Lee “Bill” Stockton, 84, of
Watkinsville, died October 21, 2021.
Born in Jackson County, he was one of
13 children, a son of
the late William
McKinley Stockton w j
and Minnie Lee I ^
Smallwood Stockton.
Bill had made his r, 1
home in the Athens
area since 1966. He
was retired from American General
Life Insurance Company in 1995 fol
lowing 18 years of service. During his
career, he was 7th out of 7000 agents
in 1984 and was in the top 300 every
year. Prior to American General, he
was Sales Manager for Bensons
Bakery. Bill was a member of the
Bread of Life Club at Tuckston United
Methodist Church, Excursions
Unlimited, where he traveled exten
sively, and the XYZ Club at Prince
Avenue Baptist Church. Bill was a
member of Johnson Drive Baptist
Church, Athens. Survivors include his
wife of 66 years, Maudine Lawson
Stockton; son and daughter in law,
Dennis and Amelia Stockton of
Gainesville, GA; brother, Grady F.
(Carolyn) Stockton of Williamson,
GA; sister-in-law, Kay Stockton of
Stockbridge; grandchildren, Jessica
(Edward) Thompson and Joshua
Stockton. The family received friends
FROM 1A
Stores
COR Properties LLC. He
said his client wanted the
variances to help with sub
dividing property at the
Kroger Marketplace devel
opment.
The land in question is
currently a part of Kroger’s
15-acre property, tax par
cel 106-075-014.
Kroger is under contract
to sell an approximately
one-thirds-acre site to
Cianci, who will develop
it, Underwood said.
This square portion is at
the front of a grass rectan
gle between Kroger’s phar
macy and pick-up areas
and Marketplace
Boulevard.
The lawyer elaborated
that because Cianci will
collateralize into a separate
tax parcel, the need for the
parking variance arises.
Currently, section 607(e)
of Dawson County Land
Use Resolution Article VI
allows for up to half of a
business’s parking to be on
a separate tax parcel.
Underwood added that
there’s “loads of parking”
currently in front of the
supermarket.
He also showed the
planning commissioners a
reciprocal easement agree
ment that would establish a
non-exclusive easement
over common areas. The
measure would allow for
shared parking and pedes
trian access to Kroger and
Cianci’s property.
Ingress and egress for a
forthcoming business
would happen on and off
of Marketplace Boulevard.
The business’s driveway
would be accessible via an
easement rather than a
curb cut.
“We can’t tell you who it
is,” said Underwood, refer
ring to the future business.
“But you’ll like it.”
FROM 1A
Voting
two Dawsonville City
Council seats. The City
Council Post 2 seat is
between incumbent Will
Illg and Mike Sosebee,
and the City Council
Post 4 seat is between
incumbent Mark French
and Jamie McCracken.
Ferguson said that, for
city council elections
like this one, the voter
turnout is typically
lower than it is in other
elections. She said that
the last election with
only council seats up to
vote was in 2017 and
saw only 282 voters.
The total number of
registered city voters
who could vote in this
election, Ferguson said,
is around 3,044 based
on the last poll the
Board of Elections took.
Ferguson said she and
other election officials
are hopeful more citi
zens will come out to
cast their votes during
advanced voting or on
election day.
